” When ERCOT does planning for winter, they only really count on 10 percent of wind turbine capacity being available. We’re already not relying on it very heavily to be there. “
Gives the lie that this has anything to do with wind power.
It’s sheer incompetence.
Hold on. He also says that about 40% of the energy loss can be attributed to wind and solar.
Bingo! The wind power bugaboo is purely a distraction and deflection.
Wind and solar began their drop upon 8 Feb 2021. Coal charted full operation from that point forward. The natural gas grid contribution began to ramp to nearly triple by 14 Feb 2021.
Here is a charting from ERCOT:

It’s sheer incompetence.
Any renewable should be counted as ZERO PERCENT available.
Therefore, real power plants should be mandated to be available as backup. That means coal, nuclear and properly designed gas turbines should be built ASAP.
Have these idiots figured out what the GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM IS? Probably not, but they will in the next few years. It isn't looking good for the idiots who believe the liberals.
